Acts 4:5-13 MKJV
(5) And it happened on the next day that their rulers and elders and scribes, gathered to Jerusalem,
(6) and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
(7) And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name have you done this?
(8) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
(9) if we are examined today on a good work for an infirm man, by what this one has been healed,
(10) be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this name does this man stand before you whole.
(11) This is the Stone which you builders have counted worthless, and He has become the Head of the Corner.
(12) And there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
(13) But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlearned and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.

(9) if _we_ today are being examined concerning an act of kindness [done] to a sick man, by what [means] this [man] has been cured,
(10) let it be known to you* all and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom _you*_ crucified, whom God raised from [the] dead, by Him has this [man] stood before you* healthy!

(13) And observing the confidence of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are uneducated and untrained men, they began marveling, and they were recognizing them that they were with Jesus.
